The first 11 performance today makes it absolutely clear that the likes of Valencia and Young should be no where near the first team.And a Dunce hat for Valencia.
Same for me. I thought he was excellent.Blind man of the match for me. Di Maria will get the headlines but for me Blind quietly went about his business and cut things out before they happened.
This sums up my feelings perfectly. Can't remember the last time I've looked at the clock and been wishing it could just go on and on, because I was enjoying our performance so much.I wanted to watch that forever. Been so fecking long since we've passed the ball like that and been exciting.
No more lightweight than the Di Maria - Modric - Alonso combo that won the CL last year.I still think we are lightweight in midfield. Chelsea and City possess some right monsters in there.
Definitely. We still struggled a bit to create proper chances before the goal. Something that still needs work.Did anyone detect anxiety from the team prior to ADM's goal? I think there was lots of tension in the team and in the crowd.
We were nowhere that good against Swansea, it was an individuals that won us that match. Kagawa's show versus leverkusen stands out from the last seasonThat was brilliant. Don't care that QPR were woeful, we were excellent and there's a definite feeling that we're up and running. Have to go back a fair while to remember when we last played that well. Maybe Moyes's first game against Swansea?
We did have 3 good chances before that and always an individual mistake stopped us from scoring. We continued making the same mistakes after that, so....Did anyone detect anxiety from the team prior to ADM's goal? I think there was lots of tension in the team and in the crowd.
Love it.
Not bad from Sky.
I think in the near future he will be one of the country's top defenders. He has composure and keeps it simple.I also think Tyler Blackett will be our next truly great defender.
I don't think there was as much of it as in the earlier matches. I thought we started off brightly and never looked tensed. Thankfully goal #1 came pretty quickly.Did anyone detect anxiety from the team prior to ADM's goal? I think there was lots of tension in the team and in the crowd.
That's the problem, we had some good chances but the tension in the players got to them. I'm worried than when things don't go our way and we haven't scored goals in the 1st half the tension will overwhelm the players in the 2nd half.We did have 3 good chances before that and always an individual mistake stopped us from scoring. We continued making the same mistakes after that, so....
Which is all I'd ask of a CB.He has composure and keeps it simple.
You now comparing apples to oranges,and you know it.No more lightweight than the Di Maria - Modric - Alonso combo that won the CL last year.
Midfield looks great to me. Typing that make me feel great.
